Summary:
From Mae West and Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor and Kathy Griffith, comedians have long been under fire for using provocative, often taboo subjects to challenge mores and get a laugh. But in the age of social media, comedians are at greater risk of being silenced, enduring shaming, threats, and damaged careers because of angry, censorious electronic mobs. And a new threat has emerged from the left: identity politics and notions like "safetyism" and trigger warnings that are now creating a cultural and political standard that runs perilously close to censorship. Gold provides a concise, funny, and thoughtful polemic on the current assault on comedy. -- adapted from publisher info
